This is intended to be a homage to very many musicians I've loved since I started listening to music. My intention is to tell what I know about them, hoping that those people who like them too, will help me fill numerous gaps, which I may have in their careers and discographies. Sorry, but there are no MP3 audio files here at all, just info (and love for the musicians).

This was the Kiki Dee Band around August 1974, now with Roger Pope (although I think he hadn't joined the band permanently as next month we could find their previous drummer Pete Clarke in the band again):

There are some BBC live recording also featuring Mox guesting on flute and harmonica.

In 1974, Kiki Dee was the opening act for Elton John´s world tour, so when Elton left his long-time drummer Nigel Olsson, he asked Roger Pope to rejoin his band, which he did. In April 1975, this edition of the Kiki Dee Band parted ways.

This band had a strong influence of American West Coast pop music, even if all the members were British. Their only album was produced by Larry Carlton, who brought some of his friends musicians to play on it.

Other info on members of Vapour Trails (I know up to 3 members)

To be covered (2):

Andy Dalby, John McBurnie

AND THEN...

And then, I have a very big gap in Phil Curtis´ musical career. So, if someone can help me to fill the gaps, it would be very welcomed!

THE INVISIBLE OPERA COMPANY OF TIBET

This was one of the lineups for The Invisible Opera Company Of Tibet, with Dan Barber on drums:

Comments: Live album from a benefit gig for Daevid Allen, with tracks by The Invisible Opera Company Of Tibet (featuring Phil Curtis), Mark Robson, The Glissando Guitar Orchestra, Arthur Brown, Monty Oxymoron and others.

Comments: Ritchie Francis was bassist in the band Big Sleep (that also contained several later members of Man). In this album, he's accompanied by his bandmate Ray Williams (guitar), plus Big Jim Sullivan (guitar), John Rostill (bass, from The Shadows), Will Malone (arrangements) and the late drummers Mike Kellie and Barry Morgan (drums). CD reissue contains 3 bonus tracks.
